On Tuesdays you will go over homework problems due the next day.

Wednesdays I will collect the homework on previous week’s material.

Thursdays are for worksheets and quizzes. It is your responsibility to bring your worksheet to section. They are in the Course Pack and on the Math 125 Website. If you finish early, you can ask questions and/or start working on your next homework assignment.

The midterms are 25% each, the final is 35%, the assignments, worksheets and quizzes are 15% of your grade. Late homework is not accepted and there are no make up quizzes.
